"Team to beat" is a common expression in sports, one that would probably be more appropriate on Wiktionary per WP:NEOLOGISM. The article was created through WP:RECENTISM because of a comment one player made that his team was the "team to beat" one year, but this is a common cliche in sports not specifically relating to the 2007 Phillies.[1][2][3][4] – Muboshgu (talk) 15:32, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
